In right this moment’s episode of Simply Checking To See If Elon Musk Is Nonetheless Racist…Yep, He’s Nonetheless Racist, the South African migrant who spent President Donald Trump’s first day in workplace turning the Nazi salute right into a MAGA development has, for the second yr in a row, decried variety on the Oscars.
On Sunday, Musk reposted a tweet from a fellow white-and-eternally-whiny fanboy who was being fragile over the Academy of Movement Image Arts and Sciences’ variety coverage concerning Finest Image nominees.
“That is tousled,” Musk captioned his put up. “Ought to simply be who’s greatest, not greatest with an asterisk!”
Oh nah, Musky, that asterisk has all the time been there.
You see, Musk, like tens of millions of white individuals throughout the Western world, believes the rationale white actors and filmmakers have all the time dominated the Oscars is because of advantage, ignoring the truth that white individuals have all the time dominated the academy as a result of no racial demographic has ever been extra catered to than white individuals.
It’s the identical false logic they use when claiming DEI is racist in opposition to white individuals whereas ignoring the truth that variety initiatives had been solely ever essential within the first place as a result of, for the overwhelming majority of America’s historical past, white males had been hiring white males and solely white males in each single main trade. That’s not “advantage,” it’s the lasting impact of patriarchy and white supremacy.
Equally, Musky Musk and his Nazi Bunch are pretending to consider an academy stuffed with white individuals who view artwork via a culturally white lens are more likely to all the time discover the suitable nominees for Finest Image — versus the nominees white persons are probably to consider are the very best nominees for Finest Image. White individuals who relate extra carefully to white individuals persistently choosing predominately white movies for Finest Image shouldn’t be an instance of “advantage.”
Artwork is subjective. White privilege is a demonstrable truth.
Thoughts you, slightly below a yr in the past, Musk was on X calling the Oscars a “woke contest” as a result of he thought too many non-white individuals had been profitable. When it was identified to him that white actors and administrators dominated all the key awards, which they’ve nearly each single yr for the reason that inception of the Academy, he instantly backpedaled and admitted that he was “improper.”
That’s proper, people, Musk was educated on the truth that the Finest Image, Finest Actor/Actress and Finest Director classes, amongst others, had been overwhelmingly dominated by white individuals in 2024, and the Woke Boogieman that haunts his nightmares retreated again beneath his mattress and allowed him to relaxation relaxed. All was proper in his white world as soon as once more.
So, you understand, perhaps Musk and his fellow fragile, diversity-hating white males are simply plain bigots, and the “woke” Oscars is simply one other excuse for them to let their bigotry shine.
Unhappy.
